Transmission Shift Housing Disassembly
IMPORTANT: Shift housing repairs are not possible
without performing transfer case disassembly. Read
and understand all instructions before beginning
disassembly.
1. Verify transmission is in neutral. Remove the (7) shift
housing case screws from the front of the transmission and
(2) from the backside as shown.
NOTE: Shift cable bracket removal is required.
2. Place the transmission shift housing onto a flat surface as
shown. Lift the transmission case half straight up and
remove.
NOTE: Shaft components may “catch” during
transmission case half disassembly. Work slowly
and deliberately to avoid component loss or
damage.
3. Using a suitable tool, pry the reverse retaining plate up from
the (2) roll pins and remove the reverse clutch/gear
assembly from the housing. Note the orientation of the (2)
thrust washers (top / bottom of gear assembly) and needle
bearing. Inspect these components and replace as required.
